SMSC - VE Day
This week we have found lots of great activities all about VE Day. Children should know about this monumental day in European history as it was a defining moment in World War II because it marked the end of the conflict in Europe.
Numeracy
This week the focus for numeracy is on reflections. Again follow the PowerPoint for each lesson, which gives explanations and examples. On the planning document there is a link to reflection activities if you cannot access a printer. You don't have to complete every sheet, pick the right level of ability for you.

Topic - Mayans
We're moving onto lesson 2 this week of the Mayans topic. This is all about Mayans religion and their gods. Again follow the PowerPoint for the lesson then create a fact file about one of the gods. This doesn't need to be completed on the sheet at all.
